Rock River 308 forend

[308kiwi]

A mate of mine dropped his RRA 308 upper off the other day, need to loose some weight out of the front he says, had some ugly, heavy, multi railed cheese grater forend on it.

Had some 56mm Carbon fibre tube left over from another build, so set about machining up an adaptor to use the threaded barrel nut from his old forend.

Started out with a piece of 3" dia 6068 aluminium solid round bar, lots of swarf later and after a quick media blast it's off to be anodised tomorrow.........now I’ve got a mess in my workshop to clean up.

Cheers, this is what I love doing, making things.

I know it's all I seem to post on here, things that I've made, but you guys all well and truly have the technical side of the 308AR systems sorted, and this is what I can contribute, just wanting to add my little bit to the vast collective that this place is.

Damn straight.

Living at the bottom of the world forces you to 'self help' sometimes
